Communication

Cross-cultural communication occurs among o0r between people that do not share

experiences or understanding of the world. The understanding is on the basis of national

origin, race or gender. The communication faces a number of challenges. One of the

challenges is the diversity of the communication styles among different cultures that brings

misunderstanding of the spoken and unspoken word or nonverbal cues that arise during

communication. There is also a problem of different attitude towards the conflict whereby

some cultures take a conflict as a positive thing and others take the conflicts as negative that

brings misunderstanding. The prejudices can also limit effective cross-cultural

communication. When a people feel that his culture is superior that the others is another

problems of cross-cultural communication. The other prejudice can be the preconception that

the other party’s culture is hostile illiterate or uncivilized can create antagonism or

pessimism. There can be different styles of decision-making, disclosure of material facts and

task completion among the people communicating that are barriers to the effectiveness in the

Physical barriers such as lack of telephone boots can hamper communication. Lack of

computers or internet services can also prevent sending of Email too. The distance between

the parties communicating can be a barrier of the face- to –face communication. The last

barrier is prejudice. People that form bore hand opinions about the person communicating or

the subject matter can miss the important message.

Downward communication occurs when the party sending the message is in the

higher rank than the receiver of the message. Upward communication occurs when the party

sending the message is in the lower rank than the person receiving the message. Lateral

communication occurs when the communicating parties are in the same rank. When an
